I just got this book today in the e-book format and oh my goodness! I am in love! Not only do you get the sketches, but you get examples of layouts that were inspired by the sketches too! It is awesome! I would highly recommend stopping by Creative Scrappers and picking up your copy today!

(This is my own personal review and was unsolicited!)

Time Out Bench

This is my newest creation! I seriously think I need a crafting intervention or something. I am on a roll. I feel like painting, modge podging and scrapbooking the world.


Anyway this time out stool is my newest attempt at crafting more. When I saw this stool in A.C. Moore it was calling out to me. It said "I want a dinosaur and the words 'time out.'" I swear. I heard it.

It actually kind of turned out too cute for time out, I think. I added it to my Etsy shop if anyone is interested.

Valentine's Signs and An It's A Boy Sign

I have been busy making signs!  I made two Valentine's Day signs today and an "It's a Boy" sign.  Don't get excited...I added that one to my Etsy Shop!  I love my little boy, but he keeps me too busy to have another one around!

This is the one I made for myself.

The one I made for my mom's office door at work.

And the baby boy sign that you ARE NOT getting excited about because I am not pregnant. I made it for my Etsy shop!

Some New Cards

I didn't really have anything in mind when I decided to create these two cards.  I was basically playing around because I was in a crabby mood.  Scrapbooking is like therapy for me, and so by the time I finished these two cards I was feeling better!  If you are interested in them, they are listed in my Etsy store!

Amazing Grace Framed Creation

A while back I obtained a couple of old hymnals. My mom loves old hymns, and so I immediately knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to frame the hymn "Amazing Grace" for her. I had hoped to get it done for Christmas but it just didn't happen since I was busy working on her Granny Sign.
Anyway, I gathered some scrapbook paper, flowers, ribbon, and ink, and got to work! I distressed the edges of the hymn with my distresser and some ink. I framed it in a silver frame so it would match the other items in her home. I hope she likes it!

Another Christmas Layout!

This isn't the greatest picture of my LO, but it will have to do!  I used the following sketch by Got Sketch? to inspire my layout!

First Post of 2012 - Breakfast with Santa

Reba's kindergarten class had breakfast with Santa this year.  I decided to go ahead and scrap these pictures because I love them, especially the one on the right where you can't really see her face but she is obviously talking to Santa. 

I signed up for a Christmas swap where we each sent each other a gift. This turned out to be a really good thing because I didn't get a single scrapbook related item for Christmas. I think this was a first! 

When I got the Wonder and Wishes by Little Yellow Bicycle papers and embellishments from my friend. These are so cool and I couldn't wait to use them!
